When I grow up, I want to be just like DAISY–confident, courageous, and doing life with a smile on my face and a song on my lips.

Daisy Love Merrick is my former pastor’s 7-year old daughter who is battling cancer for the third time in three years.  Now though I have moved 2,500 miles away and plopped myself into a world of new, some things will never change.  The storm will pass.  The sun will come up in the morning, and our God will always be good and sovereign and worthy of praise.  Now as for this little beauty right here, I will keep on praying for her and the Merrick family and would kindly invite you to do the same.

“The other day, Daisy was looking at our globe, spinning it around.  She started kissing it as it spun, over and over…We asked her what she was doing, and she said, ‘I’m kissing all the people who pray for me!'”

Be it the news we want to hear or not, blessed be the name of the Lord.
